BB Cream VS Foundation: Which Is Best For You

BB Cream VS Foundation: Which Is Best For You

Monday, September 18, 2017

Take a walk down the makeup counters and we will see bottles and bottles of foundations and BB Creams varying in efficacies, shades and prices. Choosing the right makeup base can be a chore, its like deciding which shade of nude heels you prefer.

BB stands for “Blemish Balm” and it is formulated to even out skin tone and correct blemishes. BB Cream is also known to have moisturising and sunscreen properties to moisturise and protect your skin from UV damage at the same time. For coverage, they can range anywhere from a barely-there tint to medium coverage. The only downside with BB Cream is that they usually comes in only 2 to 3 shades - Light, Medium and Dark.

Foundation is a classic makeup product that is the top choice amongst makeup artists if they want to create a flawless canvas with high coverage. Compared to BB Cream, foundation is thicker in consistency and it comes with a wide range of shades catering to all different skin tones.

It all depends on what you’re looking for in terms of product benefits, coverage and price point. We are living in the golden age of makeup, so there is definitely a BB Cream or foundation for every skin type and catering to different skincare concerns. The bottom line is, find something that works for you!
